Alone In Space...

You goal is to earn money, upgrade your ship, and defend the Mining station.

To Play:
Unzip the files to a location you prefer, and run alone.exe

To Win/Lose:
To trigger the ending sequence of event you first need to find the Drone, and shoot it. The drone can be anywhere on the map, and will turn and move away when you near it. (its a bright white circle)

The Controls:
These are the defaults, you can set them to another set of keys, or to a Gamepad by clicking on the control in game.

Known Issues:
-Sometimes crashes giving a render error, no solution that I know of.

Source Files:
I have removed two bits of information from the source files.
- My MYSQL database information, just your standard php mysql information on a db.php page.
- Inside of the .cap file I removed the location of the submit.php file.

Sorry, I should have mentioned in the post (I'll do that now) that there is a white circular drone object that is somewhere in the level. When you shoot the drone it triggers the spawning of enemy ships.

The Drone can usually be found on one of the edges of the map, but sometimes they are near the station.

The kitty is placed randomly (like everything except the Mining Station) someplace in the level. I usually upgrade the ships engine first, then use a grid search pattern to find the kitten, and the drone.

It definitely has potential, but... first time around, I probably hit the drone thingy without even knowing it and then when enemies started to spawn and attack, I had no chance... next time, after reading what i'm supposed to do, I've upgraded quite a lot, took out drone and... nothing...
(I'm thinking it would be too hard even with the upgrades).
But some improvement and it could be really fun game.
PS: found the kitty :)

After a run of some very very crappy games, this was delightfully refreshing.
It could have used a little more clear instructions at the beginning, but aside from that it was very straight forward and fun. Good work.

What is password protected?
I just downloaded the .zip from the above link and it wasn't password protected, and the website is not password protected from viewing. So I'm not really sure what you are referring to.
